Since mutually assured schadenfreude (that is, they are the members of leopard face eating party but the leopards are eating our faces too) is now the national pastime, Markos (founder of DailyKos) has just posted some specially piquant ‘tweets’, e.g.:

It really is the case of fox"news" (et.al) being the only information source in the ‘swing states’, wasn’t it? no doubt the trump FCC will strive to somehow make that particular Orwell even deeper @#$!!!

I suppose it is in liberal bubbles, but I’m not indulging in it. Laughing in Tromp voters’ faces may feel good for a moment, but it’s a shit political strategy.

Yes, Trompkins can be impossible to get through to, but isn’t such a moment, when at least some scales are falling from their eyes, a good time to at least try? He’ll, the white working class, especially, USED to swing largely Democratic.

But, yeah, right now, the left does have more important fish to fry…

“You can’t have a security detail for the rest of your life because you worked for government,” Trump said.

After Trump dismissed the inspectors general of five cabinet departments at the end of his first presidential term, Congress passed a law in 2022 that increased the removal protections for the post, including requiring a notification as to the “substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons” for the removal action.

So if Congress doesn’t file articles of impeachment over this, aren’t they effectively saying that Congress has no checks against Presidential authority?

Wtf?

Seven democrats voted for her.

My rep, who I voted for, Mrs. Slotkin, is getting an email.

The Senate voted 59-34 to confirm Noem to be President Donald Trump’s Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

First Laken Riley, now this. Gary Peters needs to be challenged in the primary.

Fetterman too. He’s officially a giant fascist in gym shorts at this point.

So Gavin Newsom is 6’2” - and Trump is 6’3”?

He should start taking boniva!

Now that you mention it, I’ve always assumed that Trump wears the MAGAt cap when he’s having a bad hair day, but what if the real purpose is to add another inch or two whenever he has to be standing next to a 6’+ person?

Surely RFKjr. (now that he’s got the POTUS’s ear) won’t just sit back and allow these pollutants to sap & impurify our precious bodily fluids? Right?

Right?
